Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?

Knowing what is called for-- and doing it-- is all there is to it in each situation as it arises.
Never mind what you want, or what is in your best interest, or what you "ought to do."
What is called for here, now?
That is all you need to know.
And do.
Forever.
Think of all that is arrayed against knowing what is called for and doing it. That should tell you something-- like what a threat doing what is called for is to the way things are around the world throughout time.
The way things are suits a lot of people just fine.
A lot of people have a lot at stake in maintaining the status quo just as it is forever.
If we start doing what is called for they will lose their minds.
The Mafia, for instance, would be out of business over night.
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing.
I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
